Meh, I can't imagine that folks would want to pay out the arse for a 2-liter with soda anyway. Here, they charge something like 3 or 4 bucks; I can walk down the street and get a 2-liter at the grocery store for 1.25.

How is this not restricting free trade? I fail to see how these things he's doing aren't being challenged in court. I feel like a class action lawsuit against him/them would result in him biatch slapped.

But you can still buy beer by the pitcher and whole bottles of vodka?!? Great priorities there, mayor. Beat your wife, run over a kid, or wrap your car around a phone pole- just don't get fat.I'm going to NY in September and I'm taking several 44oz Big Gulp cups with me. I don't even drink soda but I'll fill one with tea and carry it everywhere. fark that shiat.

See, that's the con. "Well, you know [your city/county/state/country here] is like, you know, WAY better than that." Ah, ha ha. Until they do the same thing there, too. As long as we're all squinting out the windows at our neighbors and laughing at the sh*t THEY put up with, we win.

Maybe regulate pizza sizes, maybe ban people from eating more than a certain amount of food per meal.

Well for a long time there's been a loophole. People go to food markets and they get whatever they want with no supervision of whether or not it's healthy. Sure, we can put on the side of a 20oz bottle of soda that it's 2 servings and hope the person divides it up between two meals but there's no real way to enforce it. So what we have to do is close the bulk food loophole and make every item sold one serving. That way a person will have to consciously decide to eat twice as much food as they should.

Every year fatties cost America billions in healthcare costs. Since this is paid for by the taxpayers it's only fair that taxpayers work to end their subsidization of these free riding fatties.

Give it time...the lawyers are probably sharpening their knives right now.

I always thought some of the more interesting taco trucks put LA on top. Where else can you get Korean-Thai-Mexican-Mediterranean fusion tacos while standing in a dark alley at 10:00 pm other than Los Angeles?
